I promise not to complain about the rain. I promise.

We've had the rain! The backyard rain gauge shows that over three inches have fallen in the last couple of days. And, it's still coming down. Big time!

Ordinarily, the street in this photo would have been as dry as a bone, and this poor guy would have no trouble crossing. Hat not needed. But, not today.

The drought out here in west Texas was so bad, up until this year, that we were afraid it would never end. Now, we don't know what to make of all of this water. We've had so much rain this year that it's tempting to say that the drought is over. But no. That might jinx it.

The rain certainly has been good for the lawns. Grass is growing in spots where grass hasn't grown in a long time. So, come on, let it rain. Keep it coming, we can take it.
